Interesting to see how much slower is JS when compared to Fortran for matrix operations, no idea how to compare React to Fortran.

React is a responsive framework, not a compute lib. It's a joke.
Getting offtopic here from FORTRAN, but there have been several attempts at numeric libraries in javascript (math.js, numjs), they are either lightweight, or unmaintained and in a sorry state, or require async execution that expect remote hardware (Googles tensor libs) which makes them a bit difficult to use in a general setting.
Hopefully WebASM will result in a native numpy-like library for JS because numpy is a very well-thought-out library and interface, it's really addictive.
I have written interfaces in Fortran 77 back in the 80's

It’s not fast but I’ve found “algebrite” to be a good CAS for JavaScript that I can break out anytime I need dot products.

to be honest, this was just a very stupid joke. i guess there is no good reason to compare the two.
Jokes are difficult to pull off well on HN. Worst downvotes I ever get are when I'm joking.
The trick is to lay it on so heavily that there is no joke anymore.
Sadly, yes.
